"Katsutako" was alone in Asahikawa, and there was hardly any overlap in our days off, but this year, it seems that someone younger took over the shift scheduling from Yome-san, so Yome-san has more Sundays off now. Huh? Maybe we didn't have matching days off because Yome-san was in charge of the shifts? Well, I won't dwell on it. I was quite frustrated before, but I never fight with Yome-san. The secret is not having expectations of the other person. So even if they do something well, you can think, "Wow, that's amazing," and if they don't, you didn't expect it in the first place, so it doesn't bother you. But that doesn't work on Tabelog; that's the problem. So, what kind of place is "Katsutako"? A takoyaki restaurant? A place that serves takoyaki with a face on it? A place that makes takoyaki with katsu inside? My notes say they have "yakisoba." I'll call them before going. Actually, I found it on my way to the bakery, so I won't call and I'm heading back. I've confirmed that it's open, and it's quite a large store. An older sister is cooking. "Do you have yakisoba?" "Hmm, no, we don't." She's smiling. "Then, with sauce." After a while, a younger brother opens the door and peeks in, then he comes out. Are they a couple? It's 400 yen. I thought it was a bit expensive at the time. I tried one right away this time. It's so soft that it's hard to pick up with a skewer. It's not super crispy, but it's not too noticeable. It's big. The broth is a bit weak, I guess. But it's delicious. Yeah, you have to eat it right after buying it, right? I thought it might be expensive, but considering the size, it's just about right. It was delicious takoyaki. When I got home, Yome-san said she wouldn't reheat it and would eat it cold. "It might be even better cold," she said. "The broth is really strong," she said. But she doesn't realize that her words contradict each other. It's always like this. If cold is better, it means you can eat it even after reheating it. Finally, she never reheated it. I tried eating it cold, and it's not the same as when it's freshly made, of course, but it's still really good. I reheated one, but it didn't enhance the flavor, but it's undeniably delicious.
